Correct answers:
- survival of the banking industry — yes. TARP stabilized banks and helped prevent a broader banking collapse.
- survival of the auto industry — yes. TARP funds (via the Auto Industry Financing Program) helped automakers restructure and avoid a complete industry collapse.
- negative public views — yes. The program was widely unpopular and drew significant public and political criticism.

Not correct:
- bankruptcy of the auto industry — no (the industry did not collapse; some firms restructured or filed bankruptcy but the industry survived).
- failure of the industries to repay TARP loans — no (many recipients repaid their TARP funds; losses occurred but blanket non‑repayment is not an accurate characterization).
